Here the time-historical framework for the festival:
In 1440 Emperor Frederick III, one of the most important Wittelsbachers, had ruled in the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, since 1450 Duke Ludwig of the Reich, in the district of Bavaria-Landshut.
In 1453 Konstantinopel was conquered by the Turks, which is why Margrave Albrecht Achilles, at the bride's salutation, said that this marriage should be "a service for Christendom and the kingdom." 1471 was born in Nuremberg Albrecht Dürer, 1473 Copernicus, 1475 Michelangelo. In 1472 Duke Ludwig, with his chancellor Dr. Martin Mair, had founded the first Bavarian university in Ingolstadt. In 1476 the revolutionary Hans Böhm, named Pfeifer von Niklashausen, was trained in Würzburg. In 1483 Martin Luther was born in Eisleben and in 1492 America was discovered. In the same year King Kasimir IV, the creator and ruler of an Eastern European empire, died in Poland. In the following year the Emperor Frederick succeeded his son Maximilian, who is called the "last knight", and in 1504 the Bauherzogtum Bayern-Landshut Prepared
The alternation of generations signals, as it were, the end of the medieval epoch, the replacement of the Gothic age by the epoch of humanism and the Reformation, the European departure into the world.
The wedding of 1475 still takes place in the lap of the old days, but also the unrest and tension of an end time are above the festival. In spite of this, the feast has moved more than a superficial view of the European High Court. According to him, the Pole King has anchored his empire, which extends from Lithuania to the Crimea, through four more marriages; The Christian West came closer together, and Poland became a bulwark, even if the rivalry remained around Eastern Europe, from which one day Hapsburg would emerge victorious.
